Can't drag & drop thumbnails in grid view

Version 1.2: While in Grid view, I am unable to drag and drop thumbnails to manually sort. I am grabbing from the center of the thumbnail and the thumbnail turns to the dotted rectangle. However, when I drag, nothing happens.
Has anybody encountered this?
Thank you.

Shut off include photos from subitems.

Can't drag files in library grid view

I am unable to click and drag files from folder to folder within a library.

> Cancel that, now it seems to work. Anyone know why it sometimes doesn"t?
A common problem that people still seem to have trouble with is that you must "grab" the thumbnail image itself, not the frame. Trying to drag an image by grabbing the frame does nothing.

This is a silly question, but I cannot fix it! The icons that appear on my photos after I edit them, have gone away. The only way I can see them is in the Grid view. How can I get the icons back on the thumbnail photos of the full gallery that is loaded?

You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.

I can't drag/drop files!! HELP :( :(

I can't drag/drop files from one place to another, like across my desktop,i have to cut/copy paste them into another location.
It randomly change as before i could drag/ drop files, etc

OS X will move the file if you hold the command key while you drag and drop.
What happens if duplicate files are found during the move drag and drop. If you release the command key to answer the dialog box that appears, the file will be copied but not moved. If you continue to hold the command key as you click the Replace button, the move action will be completed.
To move files in Finder first press Command+C to copy the selected files, then press Command+Option+V to move the copied files to the current folder.

Drag and drop option in grid view

Hi,
I'm editing a large baptisim (750 photos) where I had another photographer. I nede the images in event order. On import, the photos are all over the place. I realise what I should have done, but now I'm here, I want to manualy drag and drop the photos in library-grid view. I'm dragging the photo and moving it, but it won't replace itself. What am I missing? Please help!

But you can find two images from different cameras that appear to be shot at the same time or within a small interval. You can use their capture times to calculate the gap between the two camera's clocks.
Now separate your files by cameras using the Library Filter (or Metadata Browser on LR 1.x) and make global time corrections with the Edit Capture Time command.
Capture time shifts the date/time of each file in the selection by the same amount as you set for the 'most-selected' (or primary select) file.
In the end, yes, sort by capture time.
Export the whole shoot using a sequence in the file-name so they sort correctly on your customer's system.

How i can do a drag drop between container (grid)?

I am trying to work out a task with Drag and Drop(WPF ,C#)to include in a demo ,i will explain easy showing an example of code in XAML
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid x:Name="container1" Grid.Row="0" >
<Grid Name="grid1" Background="Aqua" Margin="15"></Grid>
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="container2" Grid.Row="1" >
<Grid Name="grid2" Background="blue" Margin="15"></Grid>
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="container3" Grid.Row="2" >
<Grid Name="grid3" Background="green" Margin="15"></Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
My purpose is when the user drag the
grid1 in the
container2 automatically the grid2 will go to place in the
container1 (basically I want to swap the grids) then this process will be used every time need to drag a grid in a container. with a code that i wrote down i can do a simple drag&drop i can drag the "grid1"
to the "container2" but cannot send back automatically the grid2 to container1.
Kindly i ask if you have any advise or tips to make successful this task.
Thank you so much for your attention
Cheers!!!
*********EDIT*********
Using this code as follow i can do the drag&drop but what really i need is the grid "container "is fix and never move just the
"grid" should move between the "container "

Hello Jonny,
Currently I do not have a sample and I have reviewed this post and find another way which seems more reasonable. Have you cosidered use a ListView instead of common grid. It seems we can do what you want with two common grid however we need to hardcoded
all the things.
If we use ListView, for example, you can see this thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20573063/creating-icon-view-mode-for-listview-wpf
and this thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9443695/how-do-i-drag-drop-items-in-the-same-listview
We can drag and drop items instead of grid, which will make this programming much easier than hard code to switch your control's location.
Best regards,
Barry

Can't Drag & Drop Photos to Collections

I have searched the entire knowledge base for this and no luck.
I cannot select the desired photos (1 or more pics) I have in Grid View or the Slidebar, and drag+drop them onto either a Folder or an existing Collection.
When I left click over the photo and drag it, the pointer indicates I have successfully picked the group up, but when I hold it over the Collection or Folder, the pointer icon turns into the international "NO" symbol and wo't let me drop the photos into it.
I cannot find any other way to move a photo into the Collections.
I have this problem in Bridge as well, interestingly, which only lets me click on a file or sellected groug, then copy, then paste into the desired folder.
Please help.

Thanks but that hasn't worked.
I just get a "No" symbol while I hold the captured photo over anything in the Left Panel.
I can't seem to find a way to get Adobe to respond back to me about this. This prodct is a month old and this feature hasn't worked. I have not found on the Adobe website where it says you have X-amount of days of free product support but there must be. Their website seems to take you everywhere but where I need to go for the simple solution to this problem.

LR1 slow to display clear thumbnails in grid view

I'm still using LR1 (1.4.1)
My setup:
-quadcore Intel, @2.8 Ghz
-Vista x64 SP1
-8GB ram
-LR install on OS disk
-system page file, and LR catalog and previews installed on a raid0 (stripe) pair of disks
-Photos themselves on yet another disk
-All disks are SATA2
-Selected all photos in the catalog, and saved metadata
-The write xmp on change flag is unchecked
-I optimized my catalog
-I removed the previews directory, selected all photos in the catalog (16K) and did a generate 1:1 preview (2048 pixel, high quality, never delete them), and I also did a generate standard previews as well.
-I turned off Vista indexing of the previews directory and the photos directory
-I don't have a dedicated Virus scanner running
Work flow:
I chose a day's worth of photos from the navigator on the left, and set a keyword in the keyword "spraycan". I start scrolling (with the mouse wheel) down through the grid.
Issue:
right off the bat it takes about 2 seconds or so for the thumbnails to become clear - they start off quite pixelated. I start "spraying" photos with my keyword. I scroll down to the next page full of thumbnails. It takes another 2 sometimes a bit more seconds before I can see what's in the thumbnails (until they sharpen). It doesn't sound like a big deal, but when I have a lot of keywords to add, I really want to be able to scan quickly through the patch of photos and quickly tag them. That 2 seconds each time I scroll really starts to drag.
I with that LR would be able to in the backround sharpen the thumbnails in the Grid, so that when I scroll they are ready for me. Or perhaps I'm missing something with my optimization or configuration?
Thanks for listening,
Damon

iTunes will need to load all of your artwork when using cover flow and grid view. There IS a cache folder in the Album Artwork folder of iTunes, but i don't know how effective that is.
However, if you are running a version earlier than 9.2, iTunes 9.2 runs cover flow and grid view A LOT faster than previous versions, since what it does is create thumbnail versions of your images for those views only, making those views operate a heck of a lot quicker.
I know 9.2 still has some bugs and some people may advise against it, but if you really want to see a boost of performance with grid view I'd recommend updating if you haven't already. Besides, for any bugs there, Apple will probably release fixes for them shortly.

Can't drag, drop, or move icons from dock

The issue exactly is that I can no longer move icons to the dock, remove them from the dock, reorder them, or delete them. The context menu still works fine, I just can't drag and drop. Furthermore, if I attempt to drag and drop from a stack, it reads the action as if I am trying to open the file.
I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1
Things I've tried so far:
Repair disk permissions
Repair ACL permissions
Rebuild directories
Relaunch dock
Reset dock to defaults
Rebooting/logging out (both fix the problem temporarily, however it returns within an hour of regular use)
Trying to hunt down any extensions that might be causing issues...can't find anything (problem persists in guest account as well)
Rebuild and repair kexts
Cleaned out all caches
Reinstalled OS X
Wiped disk and performed clean install.
I don't have anything installed that does any low level modifications (no third party antivirus or tweaking/tune up tools). For the life of me I can't figure this one out and it's really getting annoying to not be able to use my dock.

Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Learned from leonie.

Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

Greetings!
I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

Are you using a Wacom tablet instead of a mouse? If you are, read this http://accretiondisc.com/blog/2011/07/23/itunes-playlists-dragndrop-and-wacom-ta blets/

Can't drag files/folders in list view

This has happened on two Macs now. Once on a 2x3Ghz Dual Core MacPro on 10.5 and most recently on the latest X-Serve on 10.5 Server. On the MacPro, I wound up reinstalling the OS since I wasn't very far along in the setup. The X-Serve is still malfunctioning.
The only way to drag something is to put the window in either icon or column view.
Logging out and in as another user doesn't temporarily alleviate or fix the problem. Restarting either.
Booting to the 10.5 disk and repairing system disk permissions doesn't fix.
There is a mention of this on this post but I see no fix for the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5667131&#5667131
This youtube post (strange forum...) shows the problem. (I do not have the copy/paste problem though.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfIapPnfyFY
Since this has happened twice to me within three weeks, I imagine there must be others this has happened to.
Anyone have any ideas?
MORE DETAILS: When both computers came out of the box, dragging worked but somewhere along the way, dragging stopped working. The Mac Pro was a factory install and the X-Serve was a format and install (the way I usually do things.) Both setups are vanilla - no third party apps yet! On the X-Serve, I did a custom install leaving out the extra fonts, languages and I pared down the printers installed.
Thanks

LaunchServices is often implicated in drag & drop issues.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Can't drag & drop photos

I can't drag and drop about half my library from iPhoto into Pages or Keynote (I get the "springback" action). I've tried using the Media navigator or going directly from the iPhoto window. Dragging those same pics into iMovie or iTunes works fine. No rationale for why some do some don't transfer. Pics from same roll/sequence differ. One "workaround" is if I edit (crop, whatever) in iPhoto, it then usually ebables the pic to be transferred. I've tried disabling and reenabling fonts to no avail.
Thanks for any guidance

Thanks for your replies, TD. They are ordinary albums. I haven't made any smart albums yet. It's strange, sometimes when I'm trying to relocate a photo I'll see the cursor flash in another place on the page and the photo will migrate there. Sometimes there are no cursors at all.

Can't drag&drop music from explorer into iTunes

Hey everyone, I recently got a new computer and copied over my iTunes library from my old computer and installed a fresh copy of the latest iTunes onto my new computer. The problem is I can't drag and drop files from an Explorer window into iTunes like I used to. I can still copy and paste files in or add them manually from the file browser but that is less than ideal. When I attempt to drag any files in I just see the crossed out circle image. Keep in mind I am not adding them to a playlist, just straight into my library (but adding to a playlist doesn't work either) and there is nothing wrong with the files (the error occurs on any audio file I try to drag). I'm assuming this is some sort of permissions issue, I re-installed iTunes a few time and deleted my iTunes folder but no luck. Maybe it is a registry error? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to drag and drop again.
